WASHINGTON - The Trump administration is preparing what Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has described as an unprecedented new wave of economic pressure against Iran, raising speculation that Washington could move beyond traditional sanctions and target the international networks that continue to support Tehran's oil exports.
President Donald Trump has urged Americans to accept modestly higher gasoline prices, arguing that increased fuel costs are a necessary consequence of efforts to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon. Trump defended the U.S. military campaign against Iran and said Americans paying “a tiny little bit more” should view the expense as part of a broader effort to protect global security.
